PahlavasLes Pahlavas sont un peuple de l’Inde mentionné dans des textes anciens comme les Lois de Manu, certains Puranas, le Ramayana, le Mahabharata et la Br̥hat-Samhita. Dans certains textes ils sont aussi mentionnés sous le nom de « Pallavas » : le Vayu Purana distingue « Pahlava » et « Pahnava », mais le Vamana Purana et le Matsya Purana les appelle tous deux « Pallava ». Selon P. Carnegy, les Pahlavas sont probablement les peuples parlant Paluvi ou Pehlvi, c'est-à-dire parthe.
